STOP: c000021a Winlogon.exe Blue Screen of Death error

Sakura_Fanelia · #1 August 24th, 2007, 04:39 AM

I've been having this problem for the last few days. I've tried going back to a previous time in system restore to a few days before I started having this problem. Before I did System restore I kept on getting the BSOD a few seconds after Windows had restarted. After System Restore, it probably takes about 5-15 minutes before I get the screen. So unlike others with the same problem I can actually access my Windows regularly and through Safe Mode for a few minutes before I get the BSOD screen again.

=======================
I get the following Blue Screen of Death error:

STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc0000005 (0xc0000000 0xc0000000). The system has been shut down.

Howdy:

You wouldn't happen to have Roxio GoBack installed now would you?

That's all the info I could gather. Please help. My computer is essentially useless right now.

That's nice. Now, how about answering my inquiry?

Murray

Sakura_Fanelia · #5 August 24th, 2007, 05:11 AM

Oh, sorry. I didn't see that post. Didn't even know anyone had posted.

But, no. I don't have Roxio. Never heard of it.

**Murray S.** · #6 August 24th, 2007, 05:16 AM

Okay.. Have you tried the "Last Known Good Configuration" bootup option?

Murray

Sakura_Fanelia · #7 August 24th, 2007, 05:18 AM

Yes, there's no change.

**Murray S.** · #8 August 24th, 2007, 05:20 AM

Alright.. so, it won't boot normally at all right but you can get into Safe Mode. Right so far?

What did you install (hardware, software, codecs, etc) or uninstall just before the problem appeared?

Also, do you have your XP cd handy?

Murray

Sakura_Fanelia · #9 August 24th, 2007, 05:24 AM

Actually it boots normally. It's just that after a few minutes I get that BSOD.

I installed something a few days ago yes ( I forget what at the moment, but it was some program -_-) but I not only uninstalled, I also used System Restore to go back to a day when I had no problems.

The name would be a help. If you just installed it a few days ago, the name should be no problem.

What was the program and where did you get it from?

Murray

Sakura_Fanelia · #11 August 24th, 2007, 05:30 AM

I think it was Fable: The Lost Chapters ( a game )

Great. Now, did you happen to use Ares to get it? And what about your XP cd - do you have it handy?

Murray

Sakura_Fanelia · #13 August 24th, 2007, 05:33 AM

No, I think my little brother downloaded it through a torrent and then burnt it to a DVD-R. He wouldn't use Ares. And yes, I have my XP CD handy.

I do believe his "pirating" attempt may have installed more than just that game.

Boot using your XP cd and run the "Repair" option. You will have to re-install all Service Packs and Critical Updates again after.

Well, it worked on his computer fine with no problems... Might that make a difference? The only reason I uninstalled it was because my computer didn't even meet the minimum video card requirements.
